I needed it all day, as I couldn't watch the match live. I finally saw it last night on catch-up. Those of you who are also Welsh need no telling. What an immense game! What a stunning result! What amazing singing!

There was one tackle, put in by the Welsh hooker, on the far side of the pitch, that was so hard the 'thump' was clearly audib;e....

Great Result

I'll admit that I didn't see the match; it wasn't televised in the States as far as i know. I did, however, see the result -- wow. The championship match of the tournament and Wales didn't just beat England, they Kicked Their Butts. I have some Welsh blood in me, so I'm happy for the team. Great victory.

Rugby in the States

It was available in the States if you knew where to look. My eldest is living in NY and had to travel an hour out of town to find an (Irish) pub which showed the matches live. He's Welsh, of course.

6 Nations rugby

The last I checked, BBC America usually broadcast's some of the Rugby matches. Last year, I remember seeing that there was at least one game at noon eastern on saturday's.

The pace of it

was phenomenal and it was the young bucks of England who faded as it went on. That tackle must have hurt, I remember wincing when I heard it, and Tipuric's run to set up the second try was magic. Yeah, we just scraped it :)

Cymru am byth.

Hi Cyclist,

Are you trying to tell us that prostitutes in Whales like to have robust sex?

I hate to say it but whales don't eat prostitutes, and the Wales hooker, is a position in a rugby team - and he's so mean looking even his own mother wouldn't want...I think I'll stop there.

Hey Anghie,

Sorry for the mistake. Wales wails at my faux pas, I suppose, but hey I thought the REST of my comment was at least a LITTLE funny?

I passed a fox in my van the other day. Is that the same as a faux pas?

Is a faux pas what an amourous dog-fox makes at a lovely vixen?

U of L, The Cardiac Cards, came into the second half 16 points down and managed to win the Big East (Big Least?) Tourney final game by 16 points. Now, on to the "Big Dance"! And to think they did it without me having to watch a single game.

I'm happy for sports fans world wide!

I really wish I cared. Yawn... Are the Summer fashions out yet or the fall cosmetics palette?

Sorry: For all who are really into sports and who's team won, CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Your friend, with tongue planted firmly in cheek,

Ole
